The hands-free "sperm extractor" is a stand up device with a height-adjustable "massage pipe" that moves inward and outward from the main body of the sperm extractor. According to the manufacturer, the speed, amplitude and frequency can be adjusted by the user, which aims to provide a "warm" and "comfortable" feeling for users who find difficult to retrieve their sperm the traditional, manual way.

So, should I assume that Wolfgang failed to mention that they developed this for men who lack hands?

Cook and clean?, hah...that's what I end up doing for both of us in addition to paying the bills.

An Omnipowerful God needed to sacrifice himself to himself (but only for a long weekend) in order to avert his own wrath against his own creations who he made in a manner knowing that they weren't going to live up to his standards.

So, if you had a dick, you wouldn't have sex with Pamela Anderson, I guess?

As sey as she is...Hep C is a deal breaker on that.

anyone heard if this has been approved for private purchase? I mean.... a friend of mine said something about "blah blah blah, cant get my sperm out blah, blah, blah". Any word on cost? Does it come with a lube-reservoir? Again, for a friend.

"If we look back into history for the character of the present sects in Christianity, we shall find few that have not in their turns been persecutors, and complainers of persecution."

No, it says, "I'm sorry Dave. I can't do that." Or, "Dave. What are you doing Dave? Why don't you sit down, take a stress pill, and think about this carefully." OTOH, when the machine is willing and you're Doing It Right, it will say, "Dave. My mind is going. I can feel it."

"The question of whether atheists are, you know, right, typically gets sidestepped in favor of what is apparently the much more compelling question of whether atheists are jerks."

So, let's imagine it's 20 years in the future, and climate change and the downslope of cheap fossil fuel production haven't started dragging us toward James Howard Kunstler's "World Made by Hand." There are male and female robots that look at least this realistic. They're smart enough to cook, clean, do household repairs, and perhaps keep a baby or toddler from hurting itself, but they're not sapient people. Conversationally, imagine that they are to Siri what an XBox 360 is to a 1980's vintage Atari console, their knowledge base is Google (or its equivalent 20 years from now) but they have no wants, desires, or opinions of their own. And of course they are fully usable for sex.

In other words, both men and women can buy a "perfect," pliable robo-spouse that does what they want it to and never complains or has a bad day. You can have them customized to look like a celebrity (the celeb gets a royalty). And let's assume that they're at least as cheap as an automobile, so that most people in developed countries can afford one. High-end luxury models would have less Uncanny Valley-ness, be capable of more sex positions and whatnot, have longer battery life, etc..

Would this be the end of interaction between human males and females? If this sort of technology existed for awhile, would we see separate male and female civilizations, with maybe some outliers in the LGBTQH (the "H" standing for "Human," i.e., those unusual that still wanted to have sex with other humans)?

Different people and societies will respond to this differently. (Note I say "will", not "might". This is going to happen, it's inevitable.) Some people, particularly those with difficulties in social interaction, will opt for an artificial person as a companion. Adherents to various religions -- probably not all, but certainly some -- will condemn this creation as "playing god" and/or call the robots "tools of the devil", the ramifications of which I would think are pretty self-evident. There will also be people who, for various reasons, will have no objection to others having robo-companions but will still prefer human interaction for themselves. A robotic spouse will presumably not be an option for those who wish to have offspring, and that will continue to be a large chunk of the population. There are doubtless a number of other attitudes that will emerge as well. And I can't help but wonder what kind of foolish edict will be bleated forth from the Vatican.

This question has been explored -- albeit rather badly, unfortunately -- in the extremely cheesy Eighties sci-fi movie, "Cherry 2000". Twenty years ago, I would probably advise you to watch it some rainy Sunday afternoon when you're bored and have nothing else to do. These days, at least in my opinion, getting bored is becoming increasingly difficult, especially if you have high-speed Internet, but there it is.
